Desirable Submarket

CBRE Vice President Shelton Granade, Senior Vice President Luke Wickham and Justin Basquill represented the seller. The transaction was also subject to a $38 million loan held by Freddie Mac and originated by Walker & Dunlop.

“The sale of Lugano reaffirms that South Orlando and Kissimmee are becoming highly coveted by investors,” said Granade in prepared remarks. “Lugano is in the epicenter of the tremendous growth taking place in the Hunters Creek/Kissimmee area. It is one of the metro’s fastest-growing submarkets and is seeing strong employment gains in the medical and tech fields.”

According to Yardi Matrix data, Cortland Partners renamed the property Cortland Hunter’s Creek. Completed in 2017, the property offers easy access to Centerview Boulevard, North John Young Parkway, West Osceola Parkway and U.S. Route 441.
